Additional Information

Please note the following:

We believe the family should be the first resource for funding their children’s education. Each family is expected to pay a portion of the cost of their student’s education or find resources apart from financial aid to fulfill their obligation to the school.

In order to be considered, all financial obligations must be current and student registration for 2016-17 must be complete (including payment).

Due to a limited budget and the growing number of families requesting assistance, all qualified need may not be met. Money awarded each year is independent of prior awards. Previous receipt of aid does not guarantee equal or continued assistance.

In order to assist as many families as possible, we will fund no more than 50% of any one family’s tuition costs (including parish support, family discounts and other rebates).

Any family receiving financial aid does not qualify for early payment discounts if choosing Option #1 (full-pay) or Option #2 (semi-annual pay).

Financial aid is awarded for tuition only and does not cover student fees, lunches, after school program, or any other incidental expenses.

Failure to provide all of the necessary information needed to complete the application process may result in your family not receiving financial aid.

In order to be assured of consideration, families must be timely and thorough in completing the application process. An application is considered complete only when FACTS Grant & Aid has received the all supporting documentation.

Should any of the information included in the application or any supporting documents be found untrue, the school reserves the right to rescind the full amount of assistance and demand full payment of all tuition and fees.

Whats for Lunch?

Balanced & Affordable Nutrition

In order to provide students and parents with the best possible service, clarity, and accountability surrounding the school lunch program, the following procedures regarding lunch account balances is in effect:

1. Lunches are expected to be ordered and paid for in advance.

2. The lunch program works within a strict budget and the number of meals planned and prepared each day is carefully determined. In order to ensure that sufficient food is available to those who have paid, we can no longer provide the full menu to students who have not preordered lunch. If a child does not have a cold lunch from home, an alternative lunch (sandwich or cereal, fruit and milk) will be offered in place of the regular hot lunch. The parent will be notified and charged for the alternate meal.

3. Parents with a balance due of more than $10.00 will be notified in writing. Once the balance notification has been sent out, parents will have five (5) days to pay or make arrangements to pay outstanding balances.

4. If no action is taken, parent will be contacted by phone. Students will be unable to participate in the lunch program (orders will not be processed) until the balance is paid or a payment agreement is made with the principal.
